Wow, very handsome body. Where did you get it from, may I ask?

I love my active basses with all the whiz-bang controls but every time I travel/ move with my bass(es) and set up somewhere new it sounds nothing like it did at home. I then spend ages fiddling with all the buttons and switches and getting annoyed with myself because I can't make it sound right. Halfway through the session everyone else in the band turns up the volume and are playing so loud that I can't hear myself playing anyway so my 'tone' obsession is a bit irrelevant

Hi losting, I think this is sound advice from @ian61and @bass_dinger. Personally I would try and get a grip of the basics before trying to play with others, and a teacher does help. In your situation I would buy a modestly priced decent quality second hand bass, there are many on FB / ebay and start playing along with your favourite tracks at home. I spent my first year watching and playing along with videos on YT, I didn't even buy an amp! The best thing I did is find a good teacher online, you progress so much faster. The electronics side of it is interesting, some good advice on here about self builds, speaker cabs Have fun J

Hi Steve, welcome I'm originally from Cornwall (Mylor Bridge), like many of school friends I left to find a job, haven't made it back yet but it will always be home! I bought one those HB basses in lockdown, mine was a 5 string stingray - the same black colour with black headstock, they look really bad-ass! It was amazing for the price. J

If you want a great sounding, quiet amp for home practice look at the 50W Joyo Badass, three band eq, compressor and hybrid valve front end.- 1 reply

I have the older model and never experienced any issues. Just shooting from the hip here, but have you tried any different headphones? I’m just wondering if Nu-x is using more power driving the headphones; maybe an impedance issue? I’ve no idea what I’m talking about so please ignore me if I’m completely off target. 😉

I have now sorted out some boxes in the loft so if you want to arrange your own courier I will pack the bass up in it's hard case nice and tight in a cardbox box -
Hello everyone, Having recently upgraded both my touring and backup boards with Cioks power supplies, this is now surplus to requirements. It has recently been serviced and re-capped, and everything works well. It comes with a useful amount of standard 2.1mm pedal leads in both short & long lengths, including the Voodoo Labs 18V adaptor lead, and a pair of mounting brackets. Also included, but not photographed, is a brand-new Thomann UK kettle/IEC lead. Everything is in used, but good overall condition, and ready to go to work! EDIT: Now looking for just £90 for the lot, which includes mainland UK postage. No offers or trades please. Please message me if interested, and thanks for looking! Etienne -
Saddened to hear this. He was a great player and a nice man, I saw him a play a few times and bumped into him occasionally..mostly at the Premises in Hackney. A great loss to the bass community. RIP Dill

How was your open mic or jam night last night?
chris667 replied to tauzero's topic in General Discussion
Lovely open mic last night. Two new musicians, both under 20 who had never played at an open mic before! I am always surprised to see what music they like to play. The young woman played a Cranberries song and some Dylan and the man played some Oasis and Squeeze. I think the woman in particular was great, she had really good presence. They were both great really. -
I don't use mine too often, can't remember the last time I charged it but even sitting dormant for a month or two it still has charge and no low battery warning. Sounds like the battery isn't actually being turned off, or just a naff battery in your one. Under warranty?

I think I'll be avoiding this seller.

Tbf, if you live local, even if it went up to £2.00, you'd get some spare parts and a heat source which will be good come winter with current energy prices! -

Oi! It's only me who's allowed to do that! As for saving the planet, I'll be taking my Sandberg which, being German isn't made of ordinary rainforest-killing bass wood, but of Ersatzholtz which is actually sculpted from recrystallised oil company executives.

I think that pic is conclusive (though sometimes you can have more than one fault) You should be able to operate the swich manually (be gentle) with a pencil tip and get it to operate. The spring is to turn the stamp of a 16 stone bassist into a gentle push. You could try putting something soft on the bottom of the shortened spring to shim out the gap as a temporary fix while you wait for the replacement spring. A little rubber foot might work, or a piece of felt. Hang off with the Servisol until you've tested the switch. It doesn't so much clean the switch as move the dirt around so there are a limited number of times it will work in a semi-sealed microswitch

Mine lasts a lot more than an hour. Not sure how long but a few hours at least. I wonder if you have a dodgy battery? Rob
